Civil rights attorney Leo Terrell called out New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio for fuming on Twitter about Illinois teenager Kyle Rittenhouse's not-guilty verdict announced about an hour earlier on Friday.
"We can't let this go. We need stronger laws to stop violent extremism from within our own nation," he said. He called the two men killed by Rittenhouse – Anthony Huber and Joseph Rosenbaum -- "victims" while describing the acquitted defendant as "a violent, dangerous man."
The Democrat went on to incorrectly claim Rittenhouse brought a rifle across state lines, before several minutes later tweeting that "far-right trolls" who sought to correct his claim – as Rittenhouse obtained the rifle in Wisconsin, not Illinois – are "missing the point."
"Two people are dead and their killer is left unaccountable. That’s not justice and they know it," de Blasio concluded.
